Email and Groupware Collaboration

More than just email, (also known as collaboration) the groupware features in Kerio MailServer helps groups and individuals work more productively, with features like group calendars and public folders. With server-side storage and synchronization, email, calendar and contacts can be accessed from any platform inside or outside the network at anytime.

Powerful collaboration at your fingertips

Razor Servers uses Kerio MailServer for its hosted collaboration and groupware. After testing over 25 different products, we chose Kerio due to its flexibility and power. We also added an extra layer by installing Barracuda spam filtering appliances. Barracuda is a well know industry player in the spam filtering market. This spam filtering technology comes with every account.

More than just email, (also known as collaboration) the groupware features in Kerio MailServer helps groups and individuals work more productively with features like group calendars and public folders. With server-side storage and synchronization, email, calendar, and contacts can be accessed from any platform, inside or outside the network, at anytime.

As a leading Microsoft Exchange alternative, Kerio MailServer comes with rich groupware capabilities for Microsoft Outlook®, Microsoft Entourage, WebMail, mobile devices, and other groupware clients. Providing support for the popular groupware clients, transitions are smoother and easily adopted. Companies struggling under the maintenance burden of Microsoft Exchange can switch to a more practical software solution without losing calendars or other collaboration features.

Mobile Email

WebMail – Kerio Mailserver comes with two different interfaces

• Kerio WebMail
• Kerio Webmail Mini

Since Kerio WebMail offers most of the groupware features of “fat” email clients, it makes it a great alternative to Microsoft Outlook.

Conversely, Kerio WebMail Mini was designed for maximum speed when viewing email from the small screen of a PDA device or an old web browser in an Internet cafe.

Real Groupware Capabilities

Just like a real desktop application, Kerio WebMail lets users view and manage email, calendars, contacts, notes and tasks over both corporate LANs and the Internet.

Rapid Responses

Speed of access has been always an issue with webmail. Therefore, Kerio WebMail takes a different approach from traditional solutions by downloading only updated segments of a web page rather than downloading the entire page. With faster mail browsing, administrators can replace traditional email clients with webmail with less protest from users.

Automated Message Retrieval

Kerio WebMail automatically checks for new messages without requiring the user to refresh the screen or click on any buttons. Even when a user leaves a WebMail window unattended, new incoming messages will pop-up in the inbox.

Public, Private and Shared Contacts

Users can access and manage their private address book from webmail. Since contacts are centrally stored at the server, it has never been easier to share them with other users or synchronize them with Outlook or Entourage.

Users can also subscribe to multiple public address books so that departments can share self-managed directories with the entire organization.

Similar to server-based mailing lists managed by mail server administrator, a Distribution List is a group of private contacts and email addresses masked as a group name.

For greater Outlook synchronization, Kerio WebMail and Kerio WebMail Mini can create Distribution Lists or use Distribution Lists created in Outlook.

Users can name distribution lists (for example “Soccer Tournament”) and add members to it from their Contacts or simply by typing in an email address.

When a user sends an email to a Distribution List, Kerio MailServer automatically replaces the name of a distribution list with a list of actual email addresses, streamlining the process for sending an informational email to a large group of recipients.

Calendar and Reminders

Kerio WebMail hosts both private and shared calendars. From WebMail, users can view other people’s calendars or share their calendars with selected colleagues.

Just like in Outlook, when an event or appointment is due, Kerio WebMail pops up an event reminder. Therefore, important events are never missed, even when connected from a remote location.
